X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Date: Thu, 2 Jan 1997 14:35:08 GMT Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.programmer:48262 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:33464 I dont know if this is a known fact, but on Linux 1.2 and FreeBSD 2.1 platforms, the sendto() call does not work (for UDP). Replacing the sendto() with a connect() + send() sequence works though. I dont want to post a test code snippet in case this is a known fact, but in case it is not (is it in the FAQ), I will post the code snippet which is failing (hope I am not making any mistakes in the code). -vikas Vikas Aggarwal
